French victorian GIA 2.00 carat old mine cut diamond 18k yellow gold ring

This exquisite French Victorian ring is a rare and romantic jewel from the turn of the 20th century, embodying the refined elegance and delicate craftsmanship that define the era. At its center rests a magnificent GIA-certified old mine cut diamond weighing 2.00 carats. With its softly squared outline, open culet, and broad antique facets, the diamond glows with a warm, candlelit brilliance that is both soulful and deeply evocative of its time.

Graded W–X in color with VS2 clarity, the diamond possesses exceptional character, offering depth, individuality, and authentic antique charm. Surrounding the center stone is a graceful halo of eighteen rose cut diamonds totaling approximately 0.20 carats. These antique accent diamonds add subtle shimmer and texture, their gentle sparkle enhancing the center diamond without overpowering its presence.

Crafted in rich 18k yellow gold with platinum-topped settings, the ring reflects traditional French construction, where platinum was used to elevate and protect the diamonds while yellow gold added warmth and elegance. The French eagle head hallmark confirms its origin and gold purity, grounding the piece firmly in its historic context.

Delicate yet striking, this ring is a true heirloom jewel—perfect for collectors and admirers of French Victorian jewelry who value certified antique diamonds, refined detail, and timeless romantic beauty.
